Despite top weight, Full has a good a chance as any in this. Bahrikate ran well until approaching the last at Perth recently but Back To Balloo has struggled off higher marks since winning at Hexham in June. CHILLY MISS hasn’t won since 2015 but is now 3lb lower and probably still has the ability to win a race like this if she can just brush up her jumping. Cosmic Tigress is fit from the Flat so is no forlorn hope.
